Now that the days are longer, I get to take photos and videos of new food I cook for my family. I love cooking and experimenting with new recipes and ingredients. Also, love “veganising” some meat based recipes. This 30 Minutes Vegan Mexican Beans (Taco and Tortilla Filler) Recipe is one of those. In an attempt to get more quality time out of our evenings (for helping the children with home work, catching up on some chores or just relax), I started to consciously reduce the time I spend with cooking. As much as I love cooking, I can’t possibly …

I’ve been reading a lot about people foraging for wild garlic in late April and May and posting gorgeous recipes with wild garlic they picked. I love wild garlic – it has such a wonderful taste and it can actually be grown in a pot on the balcony – but I never got around to do that. What is wild garlic? Wild garlic is one of a number of plant species whose presence indicates that a wood is ancient.

There’s nothing nicer than a Sunday roast (veggie or not) with the family and time well spent together. And what cannot be replaced in a Sunday roast? The roasted vegetables. Well, in my view anyway. Potatoes, carrots , parsnips… But have you ever ended up with too much roasted veg after a Sunday lunch? It can be easy to go ever the top with the trimmings and end up with too much food. So this super simple roasted vegetable soup with leftovers is one way to use them. I especially love this recipe for turning the leftover into a soup …
Another veganised recipe for my vegan readers. This time it’s a vegan date and chocolate chip cookies recipe! When it comes to baking and replacing ingredients for vegan ones, well, things were never easier than these days. So many substitute items are available, but I like to keep it simple. I like recipes that don’t ask for 20 ingredients, too fancy or too expensive ingredients. You know, maple syrup is lovely but it’s a lot more expensive than soft brown sugar. Also, I do like almond flour and coconut sugar, but then again, most people don’t keep this in the …
